I decided to try horns but I want to have the cheapest possible setup. I spent $420 for speakers and amps including stuff to install them.
Two Lightning Audio B4.250.2's 120x1 @ 8 each- $16 shipped and $30 shipped
Two Selenium D250-X $80 Shipped
Two Dayton Waveguides $8 Shipped
One RF 401s 200x2 $75
Four Made in china no name 6.5's. $32 Shipped
Pyramid 3 way crossover $30 shipped
Deadening/Fiberglass and supplies for pods / install $150
Total Cost $420
Question
Is the Pyramid degrading my signal? I should check out its internals but I want to get a better crossover.
I Have the horn drivers high passed at 4k cause I need bigger wave guides they are tiny. I'm going with the 8" Dayton ones.
The 6.5"s will be in .3ft each sealed in my next vehicle. Might try ported but I like them sealed.
Also The 6.5" is from the Same Chinese build house in as goldwood. I haven't checked one to see if the coil and suspension is the same. The goldwoods are only 15 bucks anyway so they aren't miracle speakers, but they work.
It is deafening. It is Too loud and I never thought I would say that. Subs are never too loud, but these will make your ears bleed and you can still hear every note clear. I think they have a pretty flat response. Bigger waveguides will help a lot.
I think If you have the room and plan on spending 250 or more on components its worth a shot. I would use better woofers and maybe a different horn driver but the concept is fun to play with. 2" coil 150RMS tweeters. Partsexpress 6's 7's or 8's 150 a pair and your set.
